Chapter 520: Rest In Peace (2/2)

Ouyang Shang cast him a look. With w.a.n.g Lu's temperament, rarely were there anything that he had not been able to say. For him to be so afraid… perhaps that thing was really not easy to resort to 'open the mouth and talk about it'.

And that thing, I have also guessed what it is, it is indeed… I hope it's not going to be that bad.

—

There was once a law called w.a.n.g Wu's Law in the later generation of Spirit Sword Sect, the content of which: as long as w.a.n.g Wu has the possibility of losing her moral integrity, no matter how small that possibility is… she would definitely lost it for you to see.

In the same way, as long as there was a possibility that things could go bad, one would have to face it regardless of how reluctant they are.

The thing that worried w.a.n.g Lu and Ouyang Shang appeared one day later.

”Humph!”

w.a.n.g Wu's m.u.f.fled hum broke the silence of the procession.

The team was flying quietly over a big river. The river was filled with danger, which was well-known to them, but it was also a shortcut to return to Blessed Fountain.

A few days ago, Ouyang Shang, w.a.n.g Lu, and w.a.n.g Wu crossed this big river and rushed to the Ghost Weeping Forest. As long as they stayed quiet while crossing this one hundred feet wide river, they would not disturb the powerful monsters within the river.

And this time, before crossing the river, the team had been properly briefed, and in the process of crossing, they were also cautious. But, halfway through, things suddenly changed.

The leader of the team, Ouyang Shang, immediately turned his head but saw that w.a.n.g Lu had already arrived at w.a.n.g Wu's side. Holding the Sword of Mount Kun with his right hand, w.a.n.g Lu activated his Non-Phase Sword Defense while Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi lingered around the fingertips of his left hand, ready to be sent out.

With w.a.n.g Lu's temperament, he was not used to this 'waiting for action after having acc.u.mulated energy' step. After the enemy's attack was confirmed, the sword qi would erupt, showing no mercy whatsoever. However, this time, he actually had to endure.

Because the person who attacked w.a.n.g Wu was Liu Xian!

Even w.a.n.g Lu didn't expect this to happen. He suspected everyone in the team, but didn't give much thought on Liu Xian because Liu Xian was the survivor of that time's disaster, and within his timeline, this reward giver Elder of Spirit Sword Sect had an unfathomable strength… Although that was Liu Xian one hundred and fifty years in the future, but in w.a.n.g Lu's mind, this preconceived idea continued to persist.

G.o.d knows how the opponent grasped this flaw and controlled Liu Xian and then attacked w.a.n.g Wu with a sword strike. Were it not w.a.n.g Wu always being an important target to guard in w.a.n.g Lu's mind… this sword strike would've killed her.

”... Right now the ten members of heavenly sword hall are all bottom trashes within the golden generation? Uncle, you were too modest. Only with your sword strike, even if you might not be among the top level in the golden generation, you can absolutely be counted in the upper middle level.”

w.a.n.g Lu looked at Liu Xian in front of him with mixed feelings. I never expected it to be you… If you want to blame, blame it on the d.a.m.n timeline!

Thinking to this, w.a.n.g Lu no longer held back his primal chaos heaven splitting sword qi and was about to unleash it. However, right at this time, Liu Xian suddenly looked stunned, his face seemed to be in a daze.

”What… What happened to me?”

w.a.n.g Lu stopped sending his sword qi. ”Liu Xian?”

Liu Xian shook his head hard. ”Just now… It's like I'm in a trance, what happened?”

Then he saw w.a.n.g Lu's Non-Phase Sword Defense and w.a.n.g Wu who was silently beside the former with a heavily injured arm.

Although Liu Xian wasn't shocked, he was certainly not a fool. He immediately realized what had just happened.

”... D-Did I do that? I was taken over by the enemy and injured Junior Sister w.a.n.g Wu?”

The people present gathered around Liu Xian and looked at him with mixed feelings. There was doubt, sympathy… and so on.

w.a.n.g Lu inwardly sighed with emotion: The enemy actually thought of this trick. Seize him and then release him, leaving behind a mess to see how they would solve it.

Facing an apprentice brother who had a criminal record, could the relation between the members of the golden generation… be maintained?

Could everyone still trust Liu Xian without reservation? Who could guarantee that his innocent gesture wasn't just a pretense? After all, being taken over by the opponent, the latter was able to reproduce every action and movement of the host body perfectly.

But if they hardened their heart and executed Liu Xian without the slightest hesitation, could the crowd… could they really face those still innocent eyes? When they dream about it in the middle of the night, wouldn't they worry that the demon heart would cause trouble?

This was the best way to attack them...

”Senior Brother... w.a.n.g Lu…” Liu Xian's voice quivered slightly. ”I'm sorry…”

Then, he raised his sword, which was still stained with the blood from w.a.n.g Wu's arm, and aimed it at his own throat.

Obviously, Liu Xian had already understood about this situation, that he had now become a burden for the team. Thus, he gathered his courage as the golden generation, ready to kill himself.

However, the next moment, w.a.n.g Lu made his move. The primordial chaos heaven splitting sword qi came through his fingertips.
